Another wrinkle was added to an already-tumultuous offseason for third baseman Bryan Ramos.

Ramos, who spent a cup of coffee with the St. Louis Cardinals this offseason, was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, according to a post on "X" from Francys Romero.

The 23-year-old third baseman has been with three different organizations this offseason after spending his first seven years as a professional with one team.

Ramos was signed by the Chicago White Sox as an international free agent out of Cuba on July 2, 2018.

Ramos spent more than seven years with the White Sox. He made his major league debut in 2024 and played 32 games while registering 99 at-bats. He had another brief stint in the big leagues in '25 but only received 12 at-bats in four games.

In the majors, Ramos slashed .198/.244/.333 with a .577 OPs and hit six doubles and three home runs with 13 RBIs.

In the minor leagues last season, Ramos had a slash line of .216/.309/.396 with a .705 OPS in 105 games with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. He hit 17 doubles, a triple and 16 homers with 51 RBIs.

As recently as 2023, Ramos was regarded as a top-five prospect in the White Sox's farm system.

Ramos' time with Chicago ended after the team designated him for assignment Jan. 29. The Orioles acquired him for cash several days later Feb. 1.

Baltimore DFA'd him as well, and he was claimed off waivers by St. Louis on Feb. 6. Ramos was DFA'd by the Cardinals on Feb. 16 after the team acquired right-handed pitcher Zak Kent off waivers from the Texas Rangers.

Similar to Ramos' situation with the Orioles, Kent spent a brief time with St. Louis this offseason before the team cut ties and then reacquired him.

Baltimore is in more desperate need of a third baseman due to incumbent starter and 2024 All-Star Jordan Westburg suffering a partial UCL tear that will require a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Ramos will likely get a more-extended look with the O's this time around due to Westburg's injury.

As for the Cardinals, they have several options at the hot corner despite being deep into a rebuild.

Former first-round pick Nolan Gorman played 54 of 111 games in the majors at third base last season. FanGraphs' roster resource depth chart currently projects him to be the team's starting third baseman in 2026, taking over for Nolan Arenado, who St. Louis traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks this offseason. Thomas Saggese, who projects to make the Opening Day roster as a bench player, registered time at third in 18-of-82 games in the majors in '25.

The organization's top prospect JJ Wetherholt, who is predicted to make the Opening Day roster as the team's starting second baseman, is also capable of playing third base if need-be.
